Etched copper and hammered brass talisman representing the lotus and the sun. There’s a creation story myth said to originate in Heliopolis that describes how the lotus gave birth to the sun god, Atum. First, there were the primeval waters called Nun, and out of Nun came the lotus. When the lotus blossomed, the sun god, Atum, stepped forth. As a rebirth symbol, the lotus was associated with the dying and resurrecting god Osiris.
